somethings off...
I keep designing things lately. In the past four days I've...
designed a educational classroom technology that basically removes the need for phyiscal furniture and allows the teacher to create a kind of sandcastle like structure to resemble seating in various ways, it was sparked by a gal that we interviewed recently and she was talking about this study she did on furniture for classrooms, and from there, it was pretty basic, ya know, build a better desk kinda thing. I started thinking, why desk, why any furniture, the floor is where its at. The floor is sectioned off in panels and each panel has some kind of bead+material+taphograpical interface thing, so you can come in and basically design the room any way you want, the tech side of communication is wireless so no fuss with wires, i dunno, but what i do know is that i poured a ton of detail into for what seemed like hours and was really about 45 mins...
then I had a massive brainstorm idea, actually a mock idea around this whole notion of second life as the next OS of the computer word, which i think is laughable really, but then i also explored the world of warcraft and the credit card thing thats been going around, i whipped up about six improv sketches poking holes at the concept, even story-boarded about 50% of it. too funny...
and then, I wrote another episode piece all covering nation digg, that has been surfacing lately, everyone or everything seems to push toward this idea of being digg worthy, digg enabled and i just took that to the next, next, level.. and its hilarious really, hilarious and possible...
and then, today was going over a request for proposal thing on where a certain company should be positioned in the social network space, and that got me into thinking about a retail/lounge bar concept that is enabled for you to do what you wanna do and still document the moment, last night we had a happy hour and it was fun, but it was poorly and not at all documented, seems odd for me to say i wished i documented that moment eh? but i usually do document moments i think will be memorable, but that causes me to preplan, sure'd be nice if i didnt have to do that, so what about document+enabled structures or lounges, so here i go again, sketching out the concept, how itd work, how itd enable me, and who i am, along with retaining my privacy, end goals and above all, take the work out of it, and make it a fun and interactive thing, featuring functional furniture that allows me to view the documentation in progress, add my own material thru wireless media exchange and more.. before i know it i've got pages of content...
and then... I read a piece from razorfish, who i thought was dead but apparently still alive, and its a pdf of digital media now and to come sorta thing, basic observations and more, some yeahness, some not, and one of the things they have in there is that loyalty is rare in this age, and so that stuck in my head.. and i started thinking.. rare.. is it really rare or is it just something else now? cause i dont think its rare, in fact, it sounds like a fun study, where is loyalty today? in a word converging at the speed of light, in this attention all now how brown cow kinda existance, thats where loyal brands really shine, they bring balance to the force, a force torn apart in the mayhem of the moment..., so there i go start writing about loyalty...
and then... it just keeps going.. content stream after content stream... its on.. i cant turn it off.. sad, cause its distracting me from my main objective.. must write a plan and discussion guide for this project im on!!
